notes

There are certain vocalists we feel we know from the first time we hear them sing - Lisa Roti is that kind of singer. The interpretation of each lyric and the intimacy of her delivery draw us in so closely that her whole personality seems to take shape in our imagination.

Lisa has an immediately appealing voice with great versatility. It is warm and smoky with sincerity and soulfulness that speak directly to the heart.

Her debut album, Comes Love, offers a musicality and depth of feeling that breathes new life to each song. Her intention is to interpret each lyric as if from her own experience and to prove once again that the songs of the Great American Song Book are truly timeless.

Lisa is accompanied by a very talented group of experienced musicians, namely pianist John Harmon, bassist Chris Carani, drummers Martin Bany and Gary Miller, guitarists Tom Theabo and Ryan Goldie, trumpeter Mike Hale, saxophonist Tom Washatka as well as the legendary saxophonist/clarinetist Franz Jackson who has been a supporter of Lisa for many years.

She sings in English, Italian, French, Portuguese and Spanish and has traveled extensively through Europe, Asia, North & South America. She has had the opportunity to perform for such dignitaries as the ambassadors to Brazil, Portugal, Thailand and Germany as well as members of the Canadian Government and even the Princess of Tonga while performing in Beijing.

She has also had the opportunity to study and play with such 'dignitaries of Jazz' as Gene Bertoncini,John Harmon,Franz Jackson, Fred Sturm, Terrell Stafford and Janet Planet.

"Lisa has an innate sense of time. She really knows how to "pocket" a feel and expose her heart with a lyric. She also has one of those tones that I miss so much in today’s world of pop divas. Watching her sing, reminds me why I started... pure joy" - Jazz Vocalist, JANET PLANET

"Lisa Roti’s essence is warmth and she brings all of this plus great taste" - GENE BERTONCINI

"I was very moved by your feeling. You really have a lovely approach - not over done and very musical..." - SHEILA JORDAN

"Roti is for real, bringing an understated sensuality to what she sings, and with grace and a smile, at that. She sings from the heart without losing her head, and that’s pretty much the name of the game." TimeOut Chicago 1/24/08

    author: Supermom

    Fanatastic CD! Perfect for relaxing after a hard day-- her songs soothe and please. She's wonderful! If you ever get a chance to see Lisa Roti in person, do not pass it up. Seeing her sing is even better than hearing her. She's delightful in every way.

    Le corde della chitarra di Tom Theabo eseguono le prime note di "Comes Love" e subito dopo vengo rapito dalla voce elegante e raffinata della bravissima e talentuosa jazz singer Lisa Roti al suo disco di esordio. Dodici brani tra cui standards del calibro di "I remember you", "Dindi", "The shadow of your smile", "Exactly like you", "Line for lions" ... interpretati da una straordinaria voce ricca di vigore espressivo, dotata di sensiblità, di maturità e di un grande senso ritmico e armonico; in ogni frase il segno di una grande personalità vocale e l'amore per il canto che si avverte dal calore della sua voce. La partecipazione di Franz Jackson al Sax dona un tocco di magia all'esecuzione di una già straordinaria band composta da Chris Carani (Contrabbasso), John Harmon (Piano), Tom Theabo (Chitarra), Martin Bany (Batteria) e gli ospiti Tom Washatka (Sax), Gary Miller (Batteria), Ryan Goldie (Chitarra). Un disco imperdibile!

  • Great CD
    author: bob sampson

    Having read a Chicago Tribune review of Lisa Roti's performance in Chicago several weeks ago, I decided to get her music. It was a good decision. This is a fantastic CD and I hope she follows up soon with many others.

  • My Escape
    author: Shampucci

    I'm a recording engineer that does hip hop most of the time and when I get in the car after a session, this is the CD I put on. I also play in a dance band and what comes on after a gig............Lisa Roti. Being in Chicago, as soon as I get a night off, I'm at her show. Can't wait for the next CD.............HURRY!!!!! Bob Pucci

  • Great CD!.
    author: Diane

    The CD offered the same soothing,sensous sound that she delivered in person when I heard her in Chicago in March.

  • Gentle, velvety, polished and bewitching
    author: Jose Miguel Vasquez

    Ms. Roti's seductive voice is magnetic. The lyrics and compositions are provocative without being distasteful. I just wanted to get up and sway my hips to the sexy flow of the enticing instrumentation combined with her alluring voice. The CD is a keeper.

  • Compelling voice. Great instrumentation.
    author: John Lawler

    I heard the samples on this site and couldn't live without the whole CD.

  • I loved the warm and sulty tones of her voice as it wraps around the very essenc
    author: Rocco Ragano

    The cd kept me interested from start to finish with its fresh vocal and instramental arrangements. Several friends of mine have also heard the cd and feel just as i do. Lisa Roti is very talented. She is playful and alluring. The musicians are outstanding. They bring the notes to life with thier experience and passion for those old jazz standards. The selection was well done with some expected songs such as Comes Love and the unexpected such as If I only had a brain. The cd is a must. It will bring much joy and comfort to a hetic day. I loved it. BRAVO!

  • Sultry and sexy
    author: Gina

    I loved the sample tracks I heard so much that I bought this CD for family and friends for Christmas. We are all in agreement - this is a sultry and sexy work of art! I have a few more people on my list that I know will thoroughly enjoy Lisa's debut CD!

  • Familiar and redifined smooth jazz melodies that are a pleasure to listen to.
    author: Marilyn de Poto

    Lisa Roti has a unique way of phrasing a lyric; her vocal melodies on COMES LOVE seem both familiar and yet tantalizingly new. Accompanied by a MORE than apt jazz ensemble featuring Franz Jackson, you can feel the pure pleasure she takes in singing these tunes. She seems very at home with some unexpected choices, such as IF I ONLY HAD A BRAIN and DINDI, and she shines on EXACTLY LIKE YOU. The CD itself is beautifully packaged and artfully produced. It's perfect listening for winding down an evening with a glass of wine by the fireplace, rain hitting against a window.

  • Just Amazing !
    author: Michael Musacchio

    After a hard day at the office, pop this cd in, kick off your shoes and just enjoy ! It is wonderful. I think that everyone should get a copy. I can't wait for the next CD .

  • Smooth, smoky, sultry
    author: Dennis Banahan

    Turn down the lights, turn on Comes Love. The best CD I'll buy this year unless Lisa Roti comes out with a 2nd album soon. I can't wait.

  • Wonderful! Refreshing! A new "old school" vocalist!
    author: Michelle Jewell

    As somone who has grown up listening to the legendary jazzman, Franz Jackson, my father, who performs on this album, and the musicians and vocalists of his era, it is my distinct pleasure to compliment Lisa Roti on her debut album. The understated accompaniment of the instrumentalists highlights her lush vocal quality and, to her credit, she has surrounded herself with some very good musicians who are quite adept at bringing out the best in the music and her voice. Lisa Roti is a breath of fresh air in this era of rap and pop, a young vocalist who seems to understand the importance and relevance of a bygone musical time and the purity of the music.

  • author: Chuck Callewaert

    Excellent entry, intonation, pitch control and phrasing with an intuitive sense of getting under the beat to make the performance Swing! Excellent choice of sidemen too, especially Chris Caranis'Down bass work. The whole group read each other on this work. Make it 10 stars!

  • We love the CD
